Equipment
- 1 Bundt pan
Ingredients
Dough
- 1 ¼ cup warm water
- 1 tsp instant yeast
- 2 tsp olive oil
- 1 Tbsp maple syrup
- 3 cups all-purpose flour (a little more for dusting)
- ½ Tbsp salt
Herby, garlicy butter
- ½ cup unsalted butter
- 4 very large garlic cloves, minced or 6-8 regular sized cloves
- ½ Tbsp dried oregano
- ½ Tbsp dried thyme
- 1 Tbsp fresh rosemary, finely chopped
Instructions
- In large bowl, add water, yeast, oil and syrup. Combine and let sit for 5 minutes.
- Add the salt and flour to the yeast mixer. Combine until little it looks like a lumpy mess. Transfer to a lightly floured surface and knead until the dough comes together and is smooth and elastic.
- Place in a lightly greased large bowl. Cover with a damp tea towel or cloth and let rise until doubled, about 1 hour.
- While the dough is rising, you can make your herby, garlicy butter. Add butter to a small pot over low heat until melted. Add garlic and herbs. Stir until well combined. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Once your dough has doubled in size, divide into 48 small, equal pieces . To do this, weigh the entire dough ball using a food scale, and then divide that number by 48 to see how much each little ball should weigh.
- Before dividing and scaling your dough, preheat your oven to 350F.
- Use bench scraper or knife to divide the dough into 48 equal pieces, and then roll each one into a little ball.
- Brush the inside of the bundt pan with some of the garlic butter.
- Dip each small dough ball in the herby garlic butter and then place in the Bundt pan. Arrange the pieces so they are all touching and close together. If you have remaining butter, pour it over the arranged dough balls in the pan.
- Bake for 35-40 minutes or until golden brown and the dough springs back when touched.
- Let it cool for about 10 minutes in the bundt pan before turning out onto a serving platter.
- Garnish with some sprigs of fresh rosemary.
- It's great alone, or I do like drizzling a little honey on top for sweetness, but that's optional.
- Enjoy!
